Mr. Edward Fordham + 

When the Autumn’s breezes + 

Were sweeping o’er the land, + 

Came the mighty mandate + 

From the upper land. + 

Now from pain and anguish + 

Thou hast found relief, + 

Passed through death’s dark portal, + 

Left this world of grief. + 

Now thou’rt safely anchored + 

In the port above, + 

Gladly do we offer thee + 

Symbols of our love. + 

When the welcome summons + 

Shall echo through the skies, + 

Then our ransomed brother + 

Will hear the word “Arise.” + 
